Abstract. Theoretical research and empirical calculations provide a persuasive evidence of close relationship between infrastructure and economic growth. Infrastructure costs can directly or indirectly affect the GDP by stimulating private-sector investment and contributing to growth of employment, productivity and exports. Currently, the most dynamically developing infrastructure is in China. Russia significantly lags behind in this process.  

Keywords: infrastructure, economic growth, investment, modernization, competitiveness, employment, jobs, productivity, public-private partnership
